Side by Side Volunteer

What will I be
doing?

Side by Side helps people with
dementia to keep doing the things they love with the support of a volunteer.
Our one-to-one support makes it easier for people with dementia, who might
sometimes feel isolated or find it difficult to leave their homes, remain
active and feel part of their local community.

By doing things
like going for a walk, to a rugby match, or joining a local class together, our
volunteers support people with dementia to take up hobbies, get out and about
or try something new.
